Wan Yanqing smiled at Yi Jing and said, "That's right. You can draw inferences from one example. What you said is correct, but I don't think so."
Yi Jing was puzzled and said jokingly: "Is this prince's analysis wrong?"
He now considers himself a prince, which makes Wan Yanqing dumbfounded!
Wanyan Qing sighed: "The analysis is correct. What I mean is that currently the DPRK is divided into two major factions. One is the faction close to Shan Yu, and the other is the power of the old thief Wan Yan. So if Shan Yu wants to get rid of Wan Yan The old thief must not kill him directly. If that happens, things will get messy. He should gradually disintegrate his power step by step, and finally wipe him out in one fell swoop... This is what I want to do... "
Wanyan Qing's face looked a little strange. Yi Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Did she call her father Wanyan the old thief? Haha, this is quite interesting. It seems that the relationship she had with Wanyan Aguda when she was in Huntian City was all just an act. Interesting, interesting!
Yi Jing said nothing and continued to listen to her story.
Wan Yanqing continued: "For example, the third prince went to serve as the northern guard to resist the Ying family's army. It is impossible for Shan Yu to bring it up. It will inevitably make people suspicious if a prince is allowed to go to such a place to suffer. Moreover, If he proposes that the third prince go to the north to serve as a guard, the faction headed by the old thief Wanyan will never agree. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yi Jing thought about Wan Yanqing's words, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "You have to mean that Shan Yu is also hesitating about this matter now. He needs an external force to intervene and destroy the balance between the two factions. His resolutions take the initiative.”
Wan Yanqing snapped his fingers: "Yes, Shan Yu's meaning is actually very clear. He needs someone who is not among the two factions of the court, but whose words are very powerful to help him complete this plan. Looking at the world, only One just meets his requirements.”
Yi Jing was startled and suddenly realized. Before he could say anything, a servant entered the room: "Prince, there is someone outside asking to see you."
Yi Jing and Wan Yanqing looked at each other and asked curiously: "Who is it?"
The servant shook his head: "I don't know. The person who came here only said that he wanted to talk to the prince in person."
Wan Yanqing winked at Yi Jing, and Yi Jing said to the servant: "Let him in."
The servant went out, and Yi Jing looked at Wan Yanqing with a mischievous look, "It can't be an assassin. You have to protect me. I'm powerless right now."
Wanyan Qing reached out to him angrily: "Idiot, didn't you listen to all the things I said before?"
Yi Jing smiled gracefully at her, with a hint of cunning in his eyes. Wan Yanqing understood instantly. She squeezed the hand that had just slapped Yi Jing hard, her pretty face blushing slightly.
After a while, a man hurried in. Looking at the way he walked, Wan Yanqing knew that he must be a monk and his cultivation was not weak.
The man kowtowed to Yi Jing, which indirectly proved Wan Yanqing's thoughts. The man said: "The young one is the king's imperial guard. The king ordered me to bring a message to the prince. The king wants the prince to think carefully about the north, and then answer the question in front of the palace tomorrow. .”
Yi Jing remained calm and nodded: "Okay, I understand. Go back and tell the king that I will go to the palace on time tomorrow and will not let him down."
The guard took the order and went out.
"As expected, Xiao Qingqing, you are so awesome. How about it? Are you interested in being my military advisor?"
Yi Jing looked at Wan Yanqing with a look of astonishment. This woman had been planning for so long, and it seemed that everything was now under her control. It took courage to plot against her own father!
Who would have expected that when Wan Yanqing heard him call him Xiao Qingqing, she happily accepted it, and said casually that it was okay. Yi Jing changed his words and said with a smile: "I don't think it's necessary for the military advisor, my wife is pretty much the same."
Wan Yanqing raised her eyes and said, "I'll fight!"
The guards returned to the palace and conveyed the words to Shanyu intact. Shanyu was overjoyed and kept saying good things. Then he gave some instructions to the guards, and the guards turned and left.
Towering golden palace—
Shanyu sat on the dragon chair, and all the important ministers on both sides prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted long live.
The civil and military personnel returned to the two compartments, and Shan Yu glanced at the ministers majestically: "I have been thinking hard for days about the candidate to guard the north against the Ying family's army, but I can't find the person. I am listed as a member of the Qing family. Is there anyone suitable to recommend?"
No one from both sides of the civil and military circles responded. Chanyu was disappointed and sighed: "Our Western Kingdom has a vast land, rich resources, rich resources, and many talented people. Can't we find a candidate who can take on this important task?"
At this time, in the class of civil servants, a minister came out and said respectfully: "I pray to the king, I am brave enough to recommend someone."
Shan Yu glanced at him casually: "Ai Qing is willing to share the worries with the lonely king, but it doesn't matter."
The official said: "Your Majesty, I recommend the grand master's son, Zixiong, to guard the north."
At this time, an official in the civil servant class looked embarrassed, but at this moment he had to bow his head and remain silent.
Shan Yu let out a sigh, and then turned his gaze to the official who had fallen silent just now: "Grand Master, I have heard that your third son Xiong has always been brave. I wonder if you think he can take on this important task."
When the grand master came out, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only say vaguely: "Back to the king, the three subordinate ministers are brave and courageous, but they have few plans and no decisions. Everything depends on the king's decision."
The Grand Master was in a dilemma and could not offend him twice.
Shanyu didn't speak, his eyes aimed at one place intentionally or unintentionally.
An official came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Ying army is cruel and murderous, and the gateway to Xuguan is an important town in the Western Kingdom. Your Majesty should send a highly respected and capable person to guard it, so that the border can be kept safe."
Shan Yu smiled and said: "What the Prime Minister said is very consistent with the wishes of the lonely king."
After hearing this, the grand master had to retreat silently to the Wenban train, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Shan Yu said: "I wonder if there is anyone who can choose the prime minister?"
The Prime Minister said loudly: "Your Majesty, I recommend the third prince."
As soon as the Prime Minister's words came out, the whole court was silent. The ministers are not fools, and they all have some knowledge of some taboos. Looking at today's situation, I'm afraid there will be another overt and covert fight.
"The Prime Minister's words are wrong. How can the Third Prince go to the border in person? If there is any harm, the Prime Minister will be guilty."
The old thief Wanyan finally came forward. His cold voice made Shan Yu frown. His biological father had not yet refuted, so why did this younger brother jump out first
Wanyan Aguda's words attracted many voices of agreement, and his followers immediately stood up and expressed their stance.
Shanyu showed no expression, sitting on the dragon chair and watching all this quietly.
"Golden branches and jade leaves must be tempered before they can become weapons of the state. If the prince does not agree with the official's opinion, then who should the prince recommend to go to the border to fight against the Ying family's army?"
The prime minister was not afraid at all and confronted Wanyan Aguda.
Wanyan Aguda stared at the prime minister with a pair of sinister eyes: "I would like to recommend the current prince Yi Jing to guard the border."
Wanyan Aguda's words plunged Jindian into silence for a while. Only Wanyan Aguda dared to say these words.
The Prime Minister smiled and said: "I am willing to listen to your high opinion."
Wanyan Agu stroked three strands of his green beard: "Prime Minister, didn't you just say that a weapon that wants to inherit the country must be tempered. Without iron and fire, how can it support this world?"
Wanyan Aguda's words were nothing short of earth-shattering. If it had been anyone else, he would not have dared to say these words even if he had ten more courages. He directly questioned the prince's ability. Questioning the prince was equivalent to questioning the king, which was simply treason.
All the officials did not dare to speak out after hearing this, but the Prime Minister remained calm and responded tit-for-tat: "The prince is the next successor of the Shanyu personally appointed by the king. His ability has naturally been tested and there is no doubt. But the third prince has done nothing but accomplished something." , since you are willing, why not give this opportunity to the prince and accept the baptism of iron and fire, so that he can better assist the prince in the future. I don’t know what the prince’s different views are on the lower officials.”
The Prime Minister's words rendered Wanyan Agu speechless, and he snorted angrily.
Seeing Wanyan Aguda, the Prime Minister was speechless, and turned to look at Shan Yu: "Your Majesty, since the prince has no objection now, please give the king's order for all this."
Shanyu glanced at Wanyan Aguda and said, "The lonely king wants the third prince to go to the north to guard the border. I wonder if all the ministers agree?"
"Your Majesty, please think again."
All the civil and military personnel suddenly fell to their knees, including Wanyan Aguda. The other officials who did not kneel down were all speechless, and then they realized in their hearts that these were officials close to Wanyan Aguda or the third prince.
Shan Yu didn't show the slightest surprise on his face, as if everything was as expected.
"The prince has arrived!" Suddenly, a call from the Yellow Gate rang out in the Golden Palace, and all the officials were astonished as to why the prince was in court today.
Yi Jing is dressed in black brocade and satin, with exquisite strands randomly scattered on both sides of her bun. She stands out and is as elegant as the wind. The smile on her face makes people feel warm at first glance.
"Greetings to His Highness the Prince." Yi Jing entered the golden palace. Both the civil and military ranks knelt down and worshiped, chanting "Thousand Years Old".
Yi Jing just bowed to Shanyu without bowing. This is also the etiquette of the Western Kingdom.
In order to establish the prestige of the next Chanyu, he does not have to kneel to anyone.
Shan Yu smiled slightly, "Why did you suddenly attend the morning meeting today?"
Yi Jing said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Ying's army, has invaded the pass. The border is in danger, but I don't know why Your Majesty hasn't sent any generals to guard it."
Shanyu sighed and said: "Alas, you don't know something. The lonely king has looked at the government and the public, but there is no one who can take on this important task."
Yi Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the border is in danger. This is a national disaster! It cannot be borne entirely by the subjects. I came here this time to implore your Majesty to give me a chance to kill the enemy and break the captivity. I must wipe out the barbarians who invaded the border and return the Western Kingdom to us. May the people live in peace and prosperity. Please also ask for your permission, Your Majesty."
Shan Yu's eyes flashed strangely. He believed that Yi Jing would not be so stupid after receiving his instructions yesterday. He pondered for a moment, then stood up and said happily: "The lonely king is right. If the emperor succeeds in breaking the captivity this time, he will immediately The throne is passed to you to succeed the new Chanyu."
As soon as Shan Yu said these words, all the officials were stunned, and then they all bowed down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise, I wish your highness to succeed immediately."
Wanyan Aguda was completely confused at this moment. He did not expect that Yi Jing would intervene at the critical moment. If Yi Jing really succeeded this time, what chance would he have to face the new Shanyu.
